Program

Nanotechnology has revolutionized many industries over the last two decades. It is now exploding in the concrete industry, giving us solutions to age-old problems like crusting, curling, shrinkage, and bleeding while curing the concrete from the inside out. In addition, it is helping us lower the carbon footprint of the world’s most widely used building material. The presentation will explain the science behind the products and then show real job examples of it in action.

• Nanotechnology – particle size
• Chemical Reactions
• Curing Methods
• Carbon Footprint Savings
• Waterproofing
